2023 GP line up/wildcards

[OveFundinFan 4,142]

Then there is those who would like to see the 2 Russians back.  Fricke doesn’t deserve to be in next year but Vaculik does, bad injury stopped him this year.What Nilsson and Kolodzeij will bring to the GP’s……I can’t see it being much.  Woffy will get a place

The selectors have a tough job anytime, but particularly this year.

[NeilWatson 1,988]

The FIM regulations state:

• The top 6 riders of the final overall 2022 SGP classification (including any qualified nominated substitute rider) will be directly qualified for the following year’s SGP series.
• The top 3 riders from the 2022 FIM SGP World championship qualification meetings (art. 71a) will be directly qualified for the following year’s SGP series.
Should a rider who has qualified from these qualification meetings also be in the top 6 of the final overall SGP classification of that year, and then the next available rider from the FIM SGP World championship qualification meetings will be selected.
• The winner of the 2022 FIME Speedway European championship will be directly qualified for the following years SGP series.
• Should a rider who has qualified from the FIME Speedway European championship also be in the top 6 of the final overall SGP classification of that year, or the top 3 riders from the FIM SGP World championship qualification meetings (art. 71a) then an extra additional rider will be nominated by the SGP commission.
• 5 additional riders will be nominated by the SGP commission.
• 1 wild card rider per event decided in accordance with art. 3.5.

• 7 riders will be nominated by the SGP commission for the official SGP nominated substitute list.

Think there might be a few riders in the gp wanting Madsen to win the sec title as it would open up an extra place Michelsen and Thomsen more than most .Fricke will be hoping Bewley stays in the top 6 .Woffinden,Doyle,Vaculík all need a good last round .Think Lindgren will get a pick regardless and I can’t see them not picking Janowski.Lamberts hopefully going to stay in the top 6 .If Kolodziej wins the sec could be squeaky bum time for some lol

Not a hope in hell. Cierniak is way behind a whole host of Poles. Even Jason Crump struggled in the GPs when seeded thru as world under 21 champion.

Janusz has produced some fantastic racing in this year's SEC, where he leads Leon Madsen. I think he's well worth another shot.

Think Kubera deserves a place on this years League form.

[Bavarian 767]

There is rumour that DISCOVERY wants a German rider in the GP next year! Huckenbeck or Smolinski?

I think Anders Thomsen will get picked over Mickelsen but other than that like your line-up.

Fricke gets in if Bewley stays in the top 6, otherwise he's gone.

Well the way Kolodziej have been riding in this years SEC and in the leagues there is a very good chance he will bring something

His best GP years were 15 years or so ago. He is a gater. He rides like Laguta did prior to 2021…..get in a tight spot and he pulls out.  That’s ok if you gate and earn a living, but that’s no good for GP’s. It’s like Berntzon said to Scotty last night “GP racing is a level above league racing”. Kolodzeij is riding for his pension pot. That’s ok, but not in the GP’s please.

Wouldn't really describe Kolodzeij as a gater. I think he struggles on the more technical tracks away from the big polish tracks.

I think he gets a wildcard pick over Doyle! I think Bewley will drop out of the top 6 in Torun (hope im wrong) but Fricke will be back anyway! Not a pick i agree with but think it will happen
